"Why is nobody ordering country ribs?" Denise asked Rob Zito. "Why are the waiters not pushing my phenomenally delicious and unusual country ribs?"

"Americans don't like sauerkraut," Zito said.

"The hell they don't. I've seen my reflection in the plates coming back when people order it. I've counted my eyelashes."

"It's possible we get some German nationals in here," Zito said. "German passport-holders may be responsible for those clean plates."

"Is it possible you don't like sauerkraut yourself?"

"It's an interesting food," Zito said.
